“The world breaks everyone, then some become strong at the broken places.”

- Ernest Hemingway.

"Kintsugi is a Japanese technique for repairing broken pottery with seams of gold. The word means “golden joinery” in Japanese. This repair work was done using a lacquer or resin that was sprinkled with powered gold."

"The Japanese art of Kintsugi repairs broken pottery with seams of gold and is a fitting metaphor for this last way of dealing with the broken places that life gives all of us. Kintsugi repairs the brokenness in a way that makes the container even more beautiful and valuable than it was prior to being broken."
